Data in form fields doesn't print

Post by Calgary Gal »

I am using PDF-XChange Editor 6.0.322.5 on a laptop running Windows 10. When I try to print a form that has been filled in, whether by me or a third party, the form itself prints but none of the data in the fields will print. I have tried "Print as image" and that doesn't produce anything different. I have never run into a problem like this before and it is very frustrating. Any ideas??

Via the File > Print... dialog box, click the More... button and activate the Print Form Fields check box.

After this, you should be seeing the form fields in the print preview.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the help Willy, but the form fields option will print only the data in the fields and not the rest of the text. I'd recommend selecting the 'Whole Content' option:

HTH!

Oops - I just did another nozzle check and cleaning (did a bunch yesterday as well!). Everything seems to work for now. Thank you for your suggestions - I appreciated the help.

Glad to read that the problem has been solved.

Even though, just a print head cleaning will not have made that fields are being printed correctly now.

So, in case if this kind of problem should return, please keep Will's suggestion in mind.

Best regards.
